Edward Riederich
Overcomer
We need more than mere beliefÂ
For the godly will sufferÂ
We can't avoid times of griefÂ
That hour when there's no reliefÂ
God searches for overcomersÂ
A word not spoken much ofÂ
Yet Jesus mentioned it oftenÂ
We hear messages about loveÂ
Sermons like a harmless doveÂ
The Word of the Lord they softenÂ
Â
In Revelation two and threeÂ
See the Christian's greater callÂ
Overcoming is the keyÂ
Then we will truly be freeÂ
We will takeoff and not stallÂ
Overcomers in the landÂ
Who are not living double livesÂ
Who obey God's commandÂ
Built on the rock and not sandÂ
That is the heart God revivesÂ
